Beanie Sigel caught a break on Thursday when prosecutors withdrew charges that he kept a rental car long after the due date had expired, reports the Associated Press.
Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, rented a 2007 Nissan Altima from Payless Car Rental in July, but failed to return it by the Aug. 13 due date or contact the rental company, police said. Payless, which continued to charge his credit card, reported the car stolen on Sept. 6.
The automobile was mysteriously returned to Payless on Oct. 5 just as detectives were arriving at his suburban Philly home to arrest him, police said. By then, the vehicle had racked up $5,000 in late fees.
At the preliminary hearing Thursday, Sigel's attorney said all outstanding fees were paid and prosecutors decided to withdraw all charges, including theft and receiving stolen property.
"This essentially was a misunderstanding between the two parties," said Sigel's attorney Fortunato N. Perri Jr.
